| Notes |
- In 1452 Lady Margaret Beaufort, the nine-year-old daughter of the Duke of Somerset was summoned to the court of her second cousin, King Henry and, on 1 November 1455, married to Edmund. She had been, after Somerset's fall, the ward of himself and his brother Jasper conjointly. She was twelve years old at the time of the marriage and became pregnant in the following year.
However, the Wars of the Roses had begun and Edmund a Lancastrian was captured by Yorkist partisan William Herbert in mid-1456. Herbert imprisoned him at Carmarthen Castle in south Wales where he died of the plague on 3 November 1456, and was buried in the Grey Friars there. His elegy was written by Lewis Glyn Cothi. His remains were, at the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. removed to the choir of St. David's Cathedral.
Edmund's only child, the future Henry VII, was born at Pembroke Castle, almost three months after his death.
